How to Structure Employment Relationships with Staff in Countries Where a Tech Employer Is Not Licensed to Operate

Tech Startups, Venture Capital Firms and Their Remote Teams Around the World

Wednesday, March 6, 2024

  • 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM PST

These days, tech companies use talent around the world. Whether it’s a web developer in Brazil, a coder in Estonia, an information security analyst in India or anyone anywhere else overseas, tech startups and venture capital firms in our “work-from-anywhere” world are building teams more international than ever before. From a talent acquisition and cost standpoint, this trend is fantastic. But cobbling together cross-border employment relationships across far-flung foreign countries―especially where a firm otherwise transacts no business and cannot issue a legal local payroll―triggers murky issues of employment structuring, payroll law compliance, and conflicts with employment laws. How can a U.S.-based company legally hire, employ, payroll and (ultimately) dismiss local staffers in countries where the firm is not even licensed to operate?

This fast-paced and practical webinar offers up a menu of different ways to structure work relationships with overseas staffers. We also discuss the legal compliance challenges that cross-border staff arrangements present, and highlight practical, real-world compliance strategies for engaging a global team working from anywhere in the world.
